Hi folks,
I’ve been working in the financial industry for the past 8 years or so, in a support function (trading assistant/operations/product control) and looking eagerly to get into a revenue generating or client facing (i.e. front office) role. The reasons are simple – interested in following markets, performing analysis, working on spreadsheets, interacting with people, desire to drive the business and work in a result oriented field and last but not the least better pay.
I believe I have a strong background for front office roles, but finding it extremely difficult to break away from the type of roles I’ve been doing. Here’s a summary of my background:
Education: Finance and Accountancy (GPA 3.7 and 3.9)
Certifications: CFA, CPA and FRM
Work Experience: Supporting trading desk on buy-side and sell-side across a broad range of products. Gained solid understanding of such instruments and their risks.
Other: deep understanding of financial statements and good in building excel models
Location: I’ve lived in New York, Singapore and currently based in London. Ready to move into a junior role and change locations for the right role.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on my resume and suggestion on possible routes I can take to make this career change. Please be as blunt as you see fit.
Much appreciated folks! Thanks in advance.
yea you need to highlight the fact that you are a CFA charterholder and cfp. thats impressive and its buried at the bottom of your resume. Im also not a fan of the career summary part.your resume should tell that story without having to read a few sentences on that
